2 1 Kelly s Criterion for Option Investment Ron Shonkwiler (shonkwiler@math.gatech.edu) Outline: Review Kelly s Problem Application to Option Investing Option Investing with Catastrophic Loss Joint Investments, no Correlation
3 2 Joint Investments, with Correlation The Downside to Kelly An aside, recommended reading, Fortune s Formula, by William Poundstone.
4 3 Kelly s Problem Kelly s Problem: we will make repeated bets on the same positive expectation gamble, how much of our bankroll should we risk each time? From before the fraction to bet is: f = or as some put it edge/odds. expectation per unit bet. gain per unit bet
5 4 Example Say the gamble is to flip a fair coin, the payoff odds are 2:1. How much should we bet? The expected or average payoff per play is ($2) 1 2 ($1)1 2 = $0.50. Upon a win, for a $1 bet we get our bet back and $2 besides, so the gain per unit bet is 2; hence the Kelly
6 5 fraction is or 1/4 our bankroll. f = 1/2 2 =.25
7 6 Virtues of Kelly our investment is compounded so we get exponential growth (or decay) our growth of capital is maximized we can not be wiped out e.g. for an even money 60/40 investment, f =.2, upon a loss we still have 80% of our bankroll.
8 6 Virtues of Kelly our investment is compounded so we get exponential growth (or decay) our growth of capital is maximized we can not be wiped out e.g. for an even money 60/40 investment, f =.2, upon a loss we still have 80% of our bankroll. Starting with $20,000, after 11 losses in a row we still have $1,718, the probability of 11 losses in a row is 1/25,000.
9 Later we discuss the downside of the Kelly fraction. 7
10 8 Kelly applied to Option Investing While stock investments are more free-form, many option investments have common ground with gambles: fixed terms a definite time horizon a payoff settlement at expiration Hence with the proper statistics, we can use the Kelly criterion to determine optimal investment levels while protecting against a string of reverses.
11 9 Gathering Statistics We need to identify the characteristic features of a specific option play we customarily make. Then record the particulars and results of that play over many implementations.
12 9 Gathering Statistics We need to identify the characteristic features of a specific option play we customarily make. Then record the particulars and results of that play over many implementations. While thinking about this, I got a perfect gift in the form of the club s February presentation by Steve Lenz and Steve Papale of OptionVue.
13 OptionVue Credit Spread Data 10
14 11 OptionVue Credit Spread Continued The data we need is: over 75 trades number that gained money: 66, 9 lost money average gain per winning trade: $ average loss per losing trade: $1, I regard the average loss per losing trade as the bet size.
15 12 Credit Spread Risk Fraction We calculate the following needed for edge over odds win prob =.88, gain per unit bet = Hence expectation = (.366).88 (1).12 =.202. And so the Kelly risk fraction is f = =.552.
16 13 Accounting for Catastrophic Loss But we can do more with the data. Note that we have maximum loss information. This can be regarded as catastrophic loss and taken into account. Let p be the probability of a win, q the probability of a loss, and r the probability of a catastrophic loss. Let γ be the gain per unit bet and λ the size of the catastrophic loss per unit bet. We now rederive the Kelly fraction.
17 14 Kelly Fraction for Catastrophic Loss The expectation is now E = γp q λr. The expected growth rate (from the previous talk) is E(g) = p log(1 + γf) + q log(1 f) + r log(1 λf) And the optimal fraction is the root of the quadratic equation 0 = E f (pγ(1 + λ) + q(γ λ) + rλ(γ 1)) + γλf 2
18 15 Credit Spreads with Catastrophic Loss The new parameters are now prob. of a win p =.88 prob. of an avg loss q = 8 75 =.1067 prob. of a catastrophic loss r = 1 75 =.0133 gain per unit bet γ = =.395 catas. loss per unit bet λ = = 1.70
19 16 OptionVue Credit Spreads with Catastrophic Loss Solve the quadratic we get or about 46%. f =.458
